Exposure meter
The exposure meter of the LEICAFLEX SL 2 measures through the lens at full aperture. Additional and therefore time- consuming operations are eliminated. 20% of the light coming from the lens is directed to the detector of the exposure meter via a cylindrical deflecting mirror arranged behind the hinged mirror. The detector is a CdS
edge of the viewfinder image.
The exposure meter is switched on and off with the rapid transport lever (4). In the LEICAFLEX SL 2 the exposure meter is switched off when the rapid transport lever is parked against the camera body in the resting position. It is switched on when the rapid transport lever (4) is swung into the measuring position (in the LEICAFLEX SL 2 MOT special model the exposure meter is constantly switched on).
The measuring field of the exposure meter is exactly defined in the viewfinder by the large central circle. Thus the target area for the focal length of all the lenses
